Welcome to Ideology, a podcast where we explore the shift in Western culture from operating within a predominantly Judeo-Christian belief system to a primarily secular belief system and how followers of Jesus can be formed into the image of Christ in this context.
We chose "Ideology" for its etymology (idea, or pattern; + logos, or word/discourse). It is the science of ideas - the pattern of discourse that impacts how we perceive reality.

Pentecostal Doctrine - Defining the Undefinable

Is that a possible task, or is it something that is experienced rather than explained propositionally? Listen in for more!

What is Pentecostalism?
In Episode 20 of Season 4, Drew and Mick begin a multi-episode exploration of Pentecostalism. In this first installment, they seek to establish some definitions - what is Pentecostalism? Charismatic? Neo-pentecostalism? Third-wave spirituality? Pentecostals are on track to become the largest branch of the global church within our lifetimes. Tune in to see how and why this is significant to modern, Western believers.

Immanentization & Elite Aesthetics - Book Review Part 3
In Episode 17 of Season 4, Drew & Mick continue their review of James K.A. Smith's How Not to Be Secular by looking at Chapter 2 and the process of how the world went from a belief in the transcendent to buffered "immanentization" - that is, "the process whereby meaning, significance, and 'fullness' are sought within an enclosed, self-sufficient, naturalistic universe without any reference to transcendence - a kind of 'enclosure.'" They also look at how these shifts happen primarily at the level of aesthetics (i.e., taste, imagination) rather than logically.

Customer Reviews
Well articulated
Profound podcast. Helps strengthen a christian’s worldview.
Love it.
I greatly appreciate and have thoroughly enjoyed how Drew and Mick make relevant theological and philosophical insights accessible to a normal person like me who is hungry for deeper things.
Great Overview
I really appreciate that Drew and Mick provide a nice overview of many topics. They’ve helped me learn about some topics I didn’t even know about, but found interesting, and then was able to go and dig deeper into those topics. They’ve also been helpful in giving me language for beliefs I’m growing into but didn’t know how to define. I would definitely recommend this podcast!
